Virginia, seeing the inevitable death, put one hand on her clothes, the other on her heart, and looking up with serene eyes, appeared an angel taking her flight to heaven. O dreadful day! Alas! All was swallowed up. A symbolic monument (without any charm) was erected at the end of a small pier in honor of all the Pauls and Virginians of the planet
